preface

A

s the wizarding world is becoming more and more accepting re-
garding Muggle-borns, other issues are being raised. The LGBTQ
community has been struggling for decades, even centuries now
and today is the time to speak up about the situation.

20 years after the end of the Second Wizarding War, the situation for
LGBTQ youth is pretty much still the same and society needs to act on it.
But as we are fighting for equality in courts and in the Ministry, it is also
important to take care of ourselves and of our members.

Writing this book had a cathartic effect on all of us. It helped the most of
us to finally speak about things we’ve had to repress for our whole lives.

If you’re reading this, what we want you to know is that you are not
alone and you can always reach us if you need to.

We are the Wild Youth.
